United States Patent Ofice US. Cl. 884 12 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention relates to the dyeing and printing of textile materials with chlorinated hydrocarbon/ water dyestuff emulsions, the aqueous phase of which contains a solution of water-soluble dyestuffs and the chlorinated hydrocarbon phase of which may be a solution of dyestuffs soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons, and to an after-treatment in chlorinated hydrocarbon solutions containing compounds which are interface-active in chlorinated hydrocarbons.

The invention relates to a process for the dyeing and printing of textile materials with chlorinated hydrocarbon/Water dyestuff emulsions; the process is characterised in that the textile materials are dyed or printed with chlorinated hydrocarbon/water dyestutf emulsions the aqueous phase of which is a solution of water-soluble dyestuffs and the chlorinated hydrocarbon phase of which may be a solution of dyestuffs soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons; and that the materials are sub sequently, possibly after a heat treatment, subjected to an after-treatment in chlorinated hydrocarbon solutions containing compounds which are interface-active in chlorinated hydrocarbons and convert the dyestuffs used into a form soluble or dispersible in chlorinated hydrocarbons.

The compounds are expediently used in an amount of 0.02-2 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the chlorinated hydrocarbons.

The compounds which are used in the chlorinated hydrocarbon baths for after-treatment according to the invention, in order to convert the dyestuffs used into a form soluble or dispersible in chlorinated hydrocarbons, can be divided into two groups, on account of their behaviour towards the various dyestuffs.

Group (A): This group comprises the compounds which convert basic dyestuffs as Well as acidic dyestuffs, anionic metal complex dyestuffs which are free from sulpho groups, or reactive dyestuffs which contain sulpho groups, into a form soluble or dispersible in chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Because of their universal applicability, the compounds of this group are preferably used in the after-treatment baths of the process according to the invention.

Group (B): This group comprises the compounds which convert only basic dyestuffs into a form soluble or dispersible in chlorinated hydrocarbons.

It is a precondition for the usability of the compounds of both groups that they should be soluble in the chlorinated hydrocarbons in the concentrations in which they are used at temperatures below 50 C.

It has proved expedient in many cases that the chlorinated hydrocarbon after-treatment baths should contain, in addition to the compounds which are interfaceactive in chlorinated hydrocarbons and convert the dyestuffs used into a .form soluble or dispersible in chlorinated hydrocarbons, small amounts of water, e.g. 0.01-4 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the chlorinated hydrocarbons, and possibly also 0.00 1-2 percent by weight of anon-ionic emulsifier, referred to the weight of the chlorinated hydrocarbons.

As non-ionic emulsifiers there may be used the commercial non-ionic emulsifiers; for example, reaction prodducts of 1 mol of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines, fatty acid amides, fatty acid alkanolamides, fatty acid glycerides, alkyl-phenols, alkyl-benzyl-phenols, alkyl-arylbenzyl-phenols, aryl-styryl-phenols or abietic acid, with 5-100 mol ethylene oxide; and also fatty acid esters of aliphatic polyhydroxy compounds and fatty acid alkanolamides.

Furthermore, it has frequently proved advantageous that the chlorinated hydrocarbon after-treatment baths should also contain 0.001-8 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the chlorinated hydrocarbons, of water-miscible organic solvents, such as isopropanol, benzyl alcohol, phenoxy-ethanol, acetonitrile, hydroxypropionitrile, dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethyl formamide or methyl glycol acetate; and to add to the chlorinated hydrocarbon aftertreatment baths 0.0l-0.5 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the chlorinated hydrocarbons, of acetic acid when after-treating dyeings and prints obtained with cationic dyestuffs, and 0.0l-0.5 percent by weight, referred to the Weight of the chlorinated hydrocarbons, of mono-, dior triethanolamine and/or 0.01-1 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the chlorinated hydrocarbons, of acetic acid when after treating dyeings or prints obtained with acidic dyestuffs, anionic sulpho group-free metal complex dyestuffs or with sulpho group-containing reactive dyestuffs.

The process according to the invention is suitable for the dyeing with cationic dyestuffs as well as for the dyeing with acid dyestuffs, anionic, sulpho group-free metal complex dyestuffs and sulpho group-containing reactive dyestuffs.

Suitable cationic dyestuffs are methine, azomethine, hydrazone, azacyanine, triarylmethane, xanthene, thioxanthene, acridine, oxazine, thiazine and phenazine dyestuffs; furthermore, the basic dyestuffs of the azo, anthraquinone or phthalocyanine series, such as are described e.g. in Colour Index, vol. 1, 2nd Edition (1956), pages 1617- 1654, and in the Supplement of 1963, and also in French patent specification No. 1,480,930.

Suitable acid dyestuffs are all water-soluble dyestuffs of the azo, anthraquinone, triphenyl-methane and phthalocyanine series which contain up to four sulpho groups; examples of anionic sulpho group-free metal complex dyestuffs are the sulpho group-free 1:2 metal complex dyestuffs of the azo and triphenylmethane series which contain at least two groups capable of dissociation; and the sulpho group-containing reactive dyestuffs comprise e.g. water-soluble dyestuffs of the azo, anthraquinone and phthalocyanine series, which contain at least one fibrereactive group, for example, a monochloro-triazinyl, dichlorotriazinyl, dichloro-quinoxalinyl, trichloro-pyrimidinyl, difluoro-chloro-pyrimidinyl, u-bromoacrylamide group or the fl-hydroxyethyl-sulphuric acid semi ester group.

Insofar as thickening agents are required for preparing the dyestutf emulsions, thickening agents poor in body are preferred for the process according to the invention.

The process according to the invention is suitable for the dyeing and printing of all textile materials which can be dyed or printed with the aforesaid dyestuffs. These include, for example, the textile materials of polyacrylonitrile, polyester, cellulose 2 /2-acetate, cellulose triacetate, synthetic polyamides and silk, which can be dyed with basic dyestuffs; the textile materials of natural or regenerated cellulose such as cotton, staple fibre and rayon, cellulose 2 /2-acetate, cellulose triacetate, of natural polyamides such as wool and silk, and of synthetic polyamides such as polyhexamethylenediamine adipate, polycaprolactam or poly-a-aminoundecanoic acid, which can be dyed with acid, metal complex and reactive dyestuffs. The present process has proved particularly satisfactory for the dyeing and printing of mixtures of these types of fibres, e.g. mixtures of polyacrylonitrile/ staple fibre, polyester/ cotton, polyester/staple fibre, polyamide/ staple fibre, polyamide/cotton, cellulose 2 /z-acetate/staple fibre, cellulose triacetate/staple fibre or polyacr'ylonitrile/polyester.

The textile materials may be present in various stages of processing, e.g. as threads, ribbons, combed material, yarn, fabrics, knitted fabrics or ready-made goods.

The chlorinated hydrocarbons expediently used in the after-treatment baths of the process according to the invention are aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride,

1,1 dichloroethane, 1,2 dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, 1,1,2 trichloroethane, 1,l,1,2 tetrachloroethane, 1,1,2,2 tetrachloroethane, pentachloroethane, l-chloropropane, 1,2 dichloropropane, l-chlorobutane, Z-chlorobutane, 1,4 dichlorobutane, 1 chloro 2 methyl-propane, 2 chloro 2 methyl propane or 4 chloro-2- methyl-propane. Tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and 1,1,1 trichloropropane have proved particularly satisfactory.

The process according to the invention is carried out by applying the dyestuffs to the textile materials by means of the dyestuff emulsions according to the exhaust, spray, padding or printing process at temperatures from 20 to 120 C. Subsequently, possibly after a conventional heat treatment such as drying, steaming or thermosolising, the textile materials are subjected in a continuous or discontinuous operation to an after-treatment in chlorinated hydrocarbon solutions containing interface-active compounds which convert the dyestuffs used into a form soluble or dispersible in chlorinated hydrocarbons. Optionally, this after-treatment is followed by rinsing in pure chlorinated hydrocarbon. By this after-treatment any nonfixed dyestuifs or dyeing auxiliaries are so completely removed from the textile materials that, after separation of the wash liquor and removal of the last solvent residues by blowing out with air or steam, the materials can be stored without any further after-treatment.

The emulsions to be used as dyebaths or printing pastes may either contain water as a continuous phase and the chlorinated hydrocarbons as a discontinuous phase, or they may contain the chlorinated hydrocarbons as a continuous phase and water as a discontinuous phase. In any case the aqueous phase is a solution of water-soluble dyestuffs; the chlorinated hydrocarbon phase may be a solution of a dyestuif soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons, but it may also be formed by chlorinated hydrocarbons free from dyestuff.

The amounts of dyestuff dissolved in the respective phases depend upon the desired depth of colour of the dyeings or prints, upon the solubility of the dyestuffs, and upon whether the exhaust, spray, padding or printing process is applied. In general, amounts of 0.2 to 50 g. of dyestuff per litre of dyestulf emulsion have proved satisfactory.

As emulsifiers for preparing the dyestulf emulsions, there may be used the compounds which usually serve for preparing oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions. Nonionic emulsifiers have proved especially satisfactory for the process according to the invention.

Suitable non-ionic emulsifiers are the commercial non-ionic emulsifiers, for example, reaction products of 1 mol of fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty amines, fatty acid amides, fatty acid alkanolamides, fatty acid glycerides, alkyl-phenols, alkyl-benzyl-phenols, alkyl-aryl-benzyl-phenols, aryl-styryl-phenols or abietic acid, with lmol ethylene oxide; furthermore, fatty acid esters of aliphatic polyhydroxy compounds and fatty acid alkanolamides.

The amounts of emulsifier required for preparing and stabilising the emulsions should not exceed 10 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the emulsions, and should preferably amount to 0.2 to 5 percent by Weight.

Besides the dyestuffs and emulsifiers, the dyestuif emulsions may contain the usual dyeing auxiliaries, e.g. urea. The amounts of these auxiliaries depend on the dyestuffs used and on the dyeing process. In general, they amount to about 10 to 500 percent by weight, referred to the weight of the dyestuffs.

The emulsions can be prepared in the usual way. It has proved expedient to prepare the solutions forming the two phases separately and to emulsify, after the addition of the emulsifiers, with the aid of rapid stirrers or turbomixers.

Chlorinated hydrocarbons which can serve for the preparation of the dyestulf emulsions are those chlorinated hydrocarbons which are also suitable for the after-treatment baths. Tetrachloroethylene, trichloroethylene and l,1,l-trichloropropane have proved especially satisfactory also in the dyestuif emulsions.

With the aid of the process according to the invention it is possible to dye textile materials of various kinds with the conventional fastness properties in a gentle and practical way without the occurrence of waste Water. The process according to the invention combines the advantages of dyeing from aqueous media (use of conventional dyestuffs, good fastness properties of the resultant dyeings) with the advantages of dyeing from organic solvents (unimpaired appearance of the goods, virtually no occurrence of waste water), wthout having the disadvantages of these processes.

A particular advantage of the process according to the invention consists in that textile materials can be dyed in the chlorinated hydrocarbon medium in a single bath with water-soluble dyestuffs and with dyestuffs soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons.

The process according to the invention is therefore eminently suitable for the dyeing and printing of materials of cellulose fibres and of mixtures thereof with synthetic fibres with the use of water-soluble reactive dyestuffs for the cellulose fibre component and of disperse dyestuffs soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons for the synthetic fibre component, and well as for the dyeing and printing of polyacrylonitrile/polyester fibre mixtures with the use of cationic water-soluble dyestuffs for the polyacrylonitrile component and of disperse dyestuffs for the polyester fibre component.

From Belgian patent specification No. 707,187 there is known a process for the dyeing of textile materials from chlorinated hydrocarbons, in which the textile materials are dyed in chlorinated hydrocarbon/Water emulsions containing water-soluble or water-dispersible dyestuffs in the aqueous phase. If this process is used for dyeing With water-soluble dyestuffs, especially reactive dyestuffs and cationic dyestuffs, then dyeings of unsatisfactory fastness to wet processing are obtained, since the proportion of dyestuff which is not bound by the fibre is only incompletely removed by the subsequent washing of the dyeings with chlorinated hydrocarbons. To achieve satisfactory fastness to wet processing, the dyeings must therefore be rinsed with aqueous liquors. By using aqueous wash liquors, however, the advantages of dyeing from organic solvents (unimpaired appearance of the goods, slight occurrence of waste water) are cancelled out.

Compared with the process of the Belgian patent specification, the process according to the invention has not only the advantage of permitting dyeing with water-soluble dyestuffs and with dyestuffs soluble in chlorinated hydrocarbons from chlorinated hydrocarbon/water emulsions; it has primarily the advantage that, due to the after treatment with the chlorinated hydrocarbon solutions containing compounds which convert the dyestuffs into a form soluble or dispersible in chlorinated hydrocarbons, dyeing with water-soluble dyestuffs, e.g. reactive dyestuffs and cationic dyestuffs, without having recourse to aqueous baths, yields dyeings of the same good fastness to wet processing as is achieved when dyeing from aqueous baths.

The parts given in the following examples are parts by weight; the constitution of the dyestuffs market with the figures (I)(XVIII) are given in the table following the examples.

EXAMPLE 1 A polyester/cotton mixed fabric (65:35) is padded with an emulsion consisting of parts of the dyestuff XVI 2 parts nonylphenol pentadecaethylene glycol ether 1 part oleic acid ethanolamide parts of the dyestuff XIII 14 60 parts urea 8 parts sodium bicarbonate 94 parts of water and 800 parts perchloroethylene (liquor absorption dried at 80 C. for 1 minute and thermosolised at C. for 30 seconds.

The fabric then passes, with a time of residence of 1.5 minutes each time, through four successive closed washing aggregates which operate according to the counter-current principle and contain a solution at 55 C. which consists of 4 parts of the compound of the formula 1 part of water 5 parts of 30% acetic acid and 990 parts perchloroethylene and is mechanically agitated. The liquor ratio for this after-treatment amounts to 1:50. After mechanical separation of the rinsing liquor by squeezing, the fabric is freed from the adhering solvent residues by blowing with hot air, and stored. A clear yellow/red bicolour dyeing of good fastness properties is obtained. No waste Water occurs in the after-treatment.

If the after-treatment is carried out by the same method with perchloroethylene without the additives according to the invention, then the non-fixed dyestuff component which is insoluble in perchloroethylene is not removed from the fabric, and the fastness properties of the resultant dyeing are therefore unsatisfactory.

If the after-treatment according to the invention described above is retained with the difference that the dyestuffs are not applied from the chlorinated hydrocarbon/water emulsion described above but from a pure aqueous dyebath in which the dyestuif XIII is dissolved but the dyestuff XVI is present in disperse form with the aid of dispersing agents, then a less clear yellow/red bicolour dyeing is obtained.

If the 5 parts of the compound of the formula CH: 69 X CH3 CH3 c Ha -ours -orn( C H2) 10- 31 CH3 0 S 9 ea Q] or with 5 parts of a mixture of 2.5 parts of the compound of the formula and 2.5 parts isopropanol or with 5 parts of a mixture of the compounds (a)-(1), then an equally good after-treatment efiect is achieved.

EXAMPLE 2 A polyester/polyacrylonitrile mixed fabric (50:50) is padded with an emulsion consisting of 20 parts of the dyestulf I 10 parts of the dyestufi XVI 4 parts methyl glycol acetate 4 parts glylcerol monoacetate 1 part oleic acid ethanolamide 3 parts nonylphenol decaethylene glycol ether 10 parts of 60% acetic acid 148 parts of water and 800 parts perchloroethylene (liquor absorption 80%) and thermosolised at 180 C. for 1 minute.

Subsequently, the fabric web successively passes, in a liquor ratio of 1:50 and With a time of residence of 2 minutes each time, through four solutions of 5 parts sodium dodecyl-benzene sulphonate 0.5 part of 60% acetic acid and 5 parts of water in 989.5 parts perchloroethylene the invention, then the non-fixed, perchloroethylene-insoluble dyestufi is not removed from the fabric and the fastness properties of the resultant dyeing are therefore unsatisfactory.

If the 5 parts sodium dodecyl-benzene sulphonate are replaced with 5 parts dodecyl-benzene-sulphonie acid or 5 parts sodium diisobutyl-naphthalene-sulphonate or 5 parts sodium C -paraifin sulphonate or 5 parts of the compound of the formula 5 parts of a 1:1 mixture of sulphonated sperm oil and sulphonated olive oil or 5 parts of the compound of the formula or 7 parts of a mixture of 5 parts of the compound of the formula CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7 and 2 parts oleyl alcohol heptadecaethylene glycol ether,

then an equally Well-rinsed dyeing is obtained.

An equally satisfactory dyeing is also obtained when the 989.5 parts perchloroethylene are replaced with the same amount of 1,1,1-trichloroethane.

EXAMPLE 3 A polyacrylonitrile fabric is padded with an emulsion consisting of 20 parts of the dyestuff II 2 parts oleyl alcohol eicosaethylene glycol ether 12 parts B-cyanoethyl formamide 4 parts nonylphenol decaethylene glycol ether 10 parts of 60% acetic acid, parts of water and 852 parts perchloroethylene,

(liquor absorption 100%), dried at C. for 1 minute and steamed at 102 C. for 15 minutes.

The fabric is then treated in a liquor ratio of 1:100 in a bath consisting of 10 parts of the compound of the formula CH3-(CHz) sCI-Ig O O /P CH3-(CHB) ltl-CHgO 10 parts of water and 980 parts perchloroethylene at 55 C. for 6 minutes, subsequently rinsed twice with fresh perchloroethylene and, after separating the liquor, freed from the perchloroethylene adhering to the fibre by blowing with steam. Without the occurrence of waste water, there is obtained a red dyeing which is rinsed clear and has the same fastness properties as a dyeing rinsed with an aqueous Washing liquor.

Without the additives to the perchloroethylene aftertreatment bath, a dyeing of poor fastness properties is ob tained, since the dyestuff which is not bound by the fibre is not removed from the fabric.

1 7 EXAMPLE 4 A polyacrylonitrile fabric is padded with an emulsion consisting of 15 parts of the dyestulf III 10 parts fi-cyanoethyl formamide 3 parts nonylphenol-decapentaethylene glycol ether 2 parts oleyl alcohol eicosaethylene glycol ether 100 parts of water and 870 parts perchloroethylene (liquor absorption 100%) and steamed at 102 C. for 20 minutes.

The polyacrylonitrile fabric is then passed in a liquor ratio of 1:50 through four successive after-treatment baths which have been heated to 50 C. and operate according to the counter-current principle, each containing 1 part sodium dodecylbenzene sulphonate 3 parts of water and 0.05 part of glacial acetic acid in 996 parts perchloroethylene.

The fabric is subsequently rinsed with pure perchloroethylene, the rinsing liquor is separated and the adhering solvent driven otf by blowing with steam. The blue dyeing obtained without the occurrence of waste water has the same fastness properties as a corresponding dyeing aftertreated in aqueous baths.

If the 1 part sodium dodecyl sulphonate is replaced with 1 part of the compound of the formula CH (CH2)1CH=(CHz)1C O N-CHg-CH B O Nn or 1 part of the compound of the formula 1 part of the compound of the formula CH (CH CH cm I: 2)1a \2 then an equally good washing-out efiect is obtained.

If the 1 part sodium dodecylbenziene sulphonate is replaced with 1 part of the compound of the formula CH3- H1 16-- 14 CH CH1- H3 (C C I 2 00 C GHQ-(CH2) 15-0 0 NH-( HQP? Gill-C14,

then 6 successive after-treatment baths are required, instead of four. After the passage through these 6 baths each of which contains 1 part of the above compound and 3 parts of water in 996 parts perchloroethylene,

then an equally satisfactory dyeing is obtained.

EXAMPLE 5 A polyacrylonitrile fabric is printed with a printing paste of the composition parts of the dyestntf IV parts di-fi-cyanoethyl formamide 30 parts thiodiglycol 2 parts nonylphenol decaethylene glycol ether 30 parts of 30% acetic acid 30 parts of water and 873 parts perchloroethylene,

dried at 110 C. for 1 minute and steamed at 102 C. for 25 minutes.

The printed fabric is then mechanically moved about in a liquor ratio of 1:50 for 3 minutes in a bath which has been heated to 50 C. and consists of 5 parts of a compound of the formula a- (CH1) 16-0 o1;rcH,-cm-o o 0 H CH3 5 parts of water and 990 parts perchloroethylene and subsequently treated in a liquor ratio of 1:50 for 3 minutes in a second bath which has likewise been heated to 50 C. and has the composition 1 part of a compound of the formula CHg-(CHz) 18-0 0 N-CH1CH;C 0 OH H, 0.5 parts of the reaction product of 1 mol oleic acid with 1 mol diethanolamine 3.5 parts of water and 995 parts perchloroethylene and subsequently rinsed in a liquor ratio of 1:50 for 1 minute in pure perchloroethylene. The perchloroethylene is then separated and the residues of perchloroethylene adhering to the fabric are removed by blowing with steam.

A clear blue print of good fastness properties is obtained without the occurrence of waste water.

If the compound of the formula is replaced in the first and second washing baths with the same amount of the compound of the formula CH;(CHa)1CH=CH(CH )7 C ON-CHg-C 0 ONH4 Ha then the same good washing-out eifect is achieved.

Without the above additives, the resultant print is useless because of its poor fastness properties.
